following court verdicts for last year's football riot while a state of emergency has been declared inside over fears that a terror attack might take place. with his hand-picked successor nicholas duros sworn in as interim president following the funeral ceremony of the late venezuelan leader. and free at last you have peacekeepers taken hostage by syrian rebels in the golan heights region have been released and handed over to the jordanian government. very good evening live from the new center is kevin are in here now at nine pm moscow time first egypt's been plunged into chaos today one protest has reportedly been killed in the capital in the unrest following a court in the case of last year's football riots death penalties have been confirmed now for twenty one people while five others received life sentences

protesters torched police and football federation buildings in cairo while the violence rages on import side to true with the latest. the scenes are very tense here in port side after this damning verdict that people say at the moment thousands gathered at the government headquarters and marched towards the canal series canal and it paid to stop traffic there as a form of protest the canal is obviously extremely important to egypt so this is a major sign to the president that they are not happy the chance in the streets are against president obama's most easy administration saying they have been abandoned by the country and that it's actually in fact it's almost racism is being targeted so when the verdict was announced people repped held their heads in their hands screaming at the t.v. screens when they had these twenty people would be sentenced to death saying that it wasn't fair to cairo was being treated in

a way that was better than port science and points i made was basically being forgotten meanwhile in the capital there has been a fair amount of violence as well the football federation building has been torched . the culture is the football fans in cairo for their parts are also unhappy with the verdict saying that it wasn't strong enough meanwhile we've now just got reports from sinai that egypt is putting in place measures status there because of a development of to harvest so what we're seeing really is a country in turmoil very much on the brink of further violence here in port saeed and no sign of it stopping in the future. bill true that will really give us a political activist and carlos talk to him and get some thoughts on what's. going to some defendants who see the death penalty others including a police chief go varying sentences some are even acquitted why the is there such a cry over what appears to be a set of balanced comes from the call. well first of

all the results are definitely not satisfactory not just for the football fans the ultras but for the entire nation seventy eight young people got killed and yet two of the ministry of interior officials are the ones on trial president morsi had a couple of months ago appointed a fact finding committee that implicates fifty six other members of the ministry of interior this report was not taken into consideration at court and only two of those officials were scapegoats hence the issue escalates on the streets more because this is is nothing but a political fiasco rather than. court proceedings now what happened in front of some of the buildings of the ministry of burning that is not the act of the ultras however some people are trying to blame the ultras for it the ultras

withdrew from the front of those buildings when they realize that someone is trying to frame them lawyers for this is the are third parties were trying to keep escalating the violence lawyers for the defendants can still appeal the verdict so they are likely to get rid of those sentences reduced or overturned do you think. well you have to understand that the results the first results that took place a month ago and today's results are nothing are not nothing less than politically driven results because the current judge that presides this court can easily get his way out of it because he knows there is an appeal process so he gave half sentences from the very beginning to many of them regardless of whether they deserve it or not he simply gave the utmost and highest tendencies so can he himself personally to get out of the scene knowing that there will be an appeal process and this current wave of violence likely to affect what happens in a court next door no. probably what happens on the

streets constitutes pressure on the judiciary that's why you the results came out quite politicized but that that is not what is intended where the people want is a fair trial for those who are. implicated not those who actually killed the people with their own hands but those who were behind them supporting them financing them and giving them the plan thirds are the true murderers because they continue to be on the streets in key places such as the minister of interior the national security and some of them are in the intelligence community those are still supporters a loyalists to the mubarak's and the regime and they receive funds from gulf countries to continue the clashes on the streets they have over two hundred thousand thugs under their control who work as informants to the ministry of

interior they are the ones behind the real violence and all sorts of fires taking place in military and police buildings just another side question to this year secretary john kerry's recently announced this week two hundred fifty million dollars of aid to egypt why is the u.s. do you think made this financial commitment is so heavily burdened itself with its own problems what's the connection. there are two phases to this issue of financial aid from the u.s. we've even heard a year ago or over a year ago president obama saying he will leave egypt up to one million one billion dollars of debt and give one billion dollars to aid through entrepreneurship projects and similar ideas however the wait and see status that the e.u. the united states have been showing is is nothing but a manifestation of of lack of trust that the current government will be able to

deliver promises. of you know in handling the situation on the scenes bringing in security economic prosperity equality and gender equality youth involvement and all sorts of rights based issues so the final outcome of the final danny face is that we've only got about twenty seconds i just wanted to ask you do you think we'll see any time soon dialogue between the opposition and president morsi the opposition that they won't speak to him will the violence that we're seeing playing out on the streets now make any difference to. the having a dialogue with the president is not going to solve anything the president needs to take very severe measures radical measures in cleansing the state institutions of the loyalists to the mubarak's he's not been doing so on the country he's promoted some of them he's trying to co-opt them and it's not working and it's only blowing in his face and he's to present the deal guarantees

a for the political process to resume. or a regular activists to cover the thank you for your thoughts a bit on the program which created. because you can keep track of everything that's happening in egypt on our website out there now we got details of what's been happening since the violence flared up following up a lot of the latest pictures and videos from the same two. the twenty one u.n. peacekeepers abducted by syrian rebels in the golan heights have been released and and it over to the jordanian authorities if service were captured by militants on wednesday rescue efforts were hampered by sporadic fighting between syrian troops and rebels despite a fragile temporary ceasefire earlier and he has said fighters set their demands for government troops to withdraw from the area as a precondition for the release of those peacekeepers the rebel groups also backtrack to him claims that use them as human shields syrian activists daddy markie believes radical factions will drag syria into further chaos as western

state funding to the opposition. the syrian opposition leaders need to really negotiate with the syrian government in order to find a political solution to the ongoing crisis in syria so some of the western countries through the funding and arming the rebels and opposition fighters have essentially act as a bloc block any political solution which could happen in the future where you have william hague who stated that there is a great threat of terrorism threat of jihad is coming back from syria having an ideology of killing which is going back to britain there is britain british jihad is the first british jihad he was killed two days ago so there are the rules threat from the islamic terrorism coming from syria and he says that we must stop syria from becoming a bed or a kind of hog of terrorism at the same time he claims he wants to arm the syrian opposition he want to give them non-lethal aid so it's a policy of hypocrisy which is filled with a lack of understanding of what is happening within the arab world and within syria so some of the western countries through the funding and arming the rebels and

opposition fighters have essentially blocked any political solution which could happen in the future as they have essentially allied themselves with the armed opposition and they're seeking regime change in direct inadvertent way as opposed to a direct libya style intervention. u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel visit to afghanistan has been marred by a series of suicide attacks a taliban suicide bomber on a bicycle detonated explosives near the company's defense ministry has killed at least nine people there wasn't in the area of the time. roads around the building located near the presidential palace have been closed the local taliban said the attack was intended to send a message to the u.s. defense chief children the police officers were also killed by another suicide attack in the east of the country. because locals fear the situation the country's only going to get worse to. first the taliban will want to send a message today united states into. defense secretary and that they are able to launch this kind of attacks even in the capital kabul in particular of times

disappoint off all security measures have been taken by the afghan and nato forces in the capital secondly i believe that the taliban insisted on the air pre conditions that they or not to ready to negotiate with the government of afghanistan are with the nato forces also with americans about the future of afghanistan india will continue to fight against the enter nation of troops and against afghan government until all that. foreign troops leave and three if this is a new wave of of attacks from the taliban. and afghanistan is going towards more violence and the next i mean mansour the people of afghanistan has a strong concern that situation will go well will be wars particularly after. two thousand and fourteen when all the foreign troops leave the country. reports

say venezuela is still mourning its leader who charges will hold presidential elections no less than a month local councils due to meet on saturday to pick the music feeling from overseas agency ruptly she's with us in caracas further lizzie the funerals only just happen but we're seeing the election campaign kicking off already here. yes it is we're waiting now for the electoral commission to announce the date of elections there have been some reports that the elections will take place on april fourteenth we're still waiting for that to be. of course yesterday the vice president nicolas maduro was sworn in as the president and so elections take place in approximately thirty days and there have been some sections of the media which of course has made quite a big deal out of the fact that some voices in the opposition notably the man who is touted as the main opposition could then. you have called the swearing in as for

dylan of course. died there was some confusion about what who would take over as president in his absence the opposition said it should be the president of the national assembly meanwhile the government said that it would be the vice president now back in january the supreme court's. actually those two interpretations of article two three three of the venezuelan constitution and it could go either way depending on whether it's the president elect who is absent or whether it is a president that has actually started a new time and back in january the supreme court did confirm that. that because they had actually taken office that there was administrative continuity and so what has happened now with my daughter taking office is actually the correct interpretation of the constitution so what's going to happen now in terms of the run up to a campaign it seems like things have very much kicked off what we have already the

. opposition kind of making accusations against my daughter but of course there's we're still kind of in this days of mourning following the death of the late president hugo chavez so still much of the attention is focused around that really of course. because nothing goes well. in the aftermath if you like a lot of talk about preserving his heritage i was not going to affect the election . yes well of course hugo chavez personally appointed. as the man that he wanted to succeed him and of course hugo chavez the late president has immense popularity in venezuela we're in the fourth day now which is what he has lain in state and the queues of hundreds and thousands of people just to catch a glimpse glimpse of him for literally five seconds continue which you know if

there was a ballot box at the end of the queues now then i think it's quite clear which way it would go but so it is and amongst the crowds you know we've been there quite a lot over the last few days and one of the most popular chance is with chavez and my daughter the people are saying and yesterday when he was sworn in in the national assembly there were very emotional crowds kind of pledging their support for him and he announced that he pages to continue the revolution he was very emotional he was in tears as he took the presidential sash and he said that the sash that he was taking belonged to chavez now at the same time he also again made reference to the fact that the cancer that chavez suffered from was very suspicious and that of course when. was first diagnosed as having having cancer he accused or he said actually that it was not a coincidence referring essentially to the united states the fact that the united

states has made no bones about the fact that they would like to see. now. so. many outside. among many condolences coming from inside venezuela there was a very good statement coming from chavez's last election and. he said he was mourning this loss and that he had never been his enemy but his rival i think is a very respectful attitude. in the following election battle mourning the loss of venezuela and its friends including russia we have to look forward. to deepen our

partnership the majority in venezuela has policies to continue we will respect the choice of the venezuelan people all of the countries that have relations with. do the same and they'll be no attempts to influence their choice. in their reporting from.

john kerry made his first major verbal gaffe as secretary of state by mixing the nonexistent country of courage to stand in one of his speeches of course it is funny when politicians misspeak george bush was pretty good at that but i can say that we all make mistakes when we speak trust me it is very easy to butcher the pronunciation of someplace on earth like course to loathe of all or walla walla washington the thing is that he didn't just misspeak his speech was written correctly and if you look at his eyes as he said it he wasn't really looking at notes or something he was reading it off of a teleprompter right now i am reading off a teleprompter but i put every word there myself which is probably why john kerry is spelled with a q but my question is would kerry and prompter mr obama just read anything put in front of them to even really know the realities of the tiriel they're reading in their speeches and who are deeply versed on some subject and you should need to read word for word from the teleprompter to give a speech just try writing some notes and speaking with your brain and maybe your

heart like in the good old days but that's just my opinion. welcome bug trouble of a heads a russian microsatellites been hit by a chinese space but a joke which had been floating around that barley since two thousand and seven indeed is an abundance of space debris there and even objects as one shouldn't you can cause a lot of damage his nazi shown thomas who's being the macaulay and two farmer a bit earlier about the threat posed by even tiny objects in space. this is a sugar cube and it doesn't seem like it's very much but if it hits you at seventeen thousand miles an hour you can imagine it can do significant damage now in terms of this specific incident this is a collision between a piece of space junk from a chinese satellite which was destroyed back in two thousand and seven it collided

with a small russian blit satellite the incident actually happened on january twenty second but it took up until now to discover exactly what happened and here's why scientists discovered basically that there was a change in st jacques a change in the orbit and even the spin of the satellite and at that point they had to work backwards kind of reverse engineering to find out what happened what they decided is that at the point where they had this change there was a near miss with this piece of space junk so they decided well this is the size it could have caused such a change in trajectory and so they have to determine that there was indeed a collision now space junk doesn't seem like it kind of sounds comical but really if you think about it there's more than five hundred thousand objects being tracked by nasa and other agencies in space right now and that's twenty thousand of those the size of a softball or larger if you think about that those things hitting at seventeen thousand miles an hour significant damage to satellites in lots of millions of

dollars if you will because satellites are a commodity so there's a lot to be concerned about and must be very hard to try to mean something as small as a shitty key i mean how do you try that in anticipation what are they doing to solve this problem oh yeah and that's only the stuff that can be tracked there's a countless number of things that are smaller than one centimeter that can't even be tracked i mean we've been shooting things into space for more than fifty years now so there's different telescopes and laser imaging systems that are in the process of tracking different objects and what happens is when they determine that there is a near miss or there's going to be an instance where these things pass kind of close to each other then they change the trajectory of the course of the satellite there's also something called better syndrome is basically the. critical mass where we've sent too much stuff into space it's created so much junk that we can't send something into space without hitting something and there are some people who believe that we've maybe already hit that critical mass so that the more stuff we put up the more expensive it becomes the more dangerous it becomes as well. and what goes up must come down they say dude i'm going ok but come on terra firma some top news stories in brief tonight violence is continuing pakistan crowds ransacked

and torched a christian neighborhood in the eastern town of lahore arrest erupted last night after a christian man was accused of committing blasphemy that's a crime punishable by death in the country police took the man into custody in an attempt to pacify the mob hundreds of christian families fled the area overnight fearing for their safety. nigerian extremist claims of murdered seven foreign hostages kid now recently in the north of the country it's according to the group's website that says the killings retaliate into a joint british nigerian military attempt to reclaim the prisoners the seven foreign workers are from the u.k. greece italy lebanon and the philippines they're all employees of said truck a lebanese construction company is working in the region. to nuclear i guess spreading across asia in taiwan tens of thousands took to the streets to demand that plans for a nuclear plant there with billions of dollars were scrapped meanwhile in japan thousands more are protesting for an end to nuclear power days before the second anniversary of the fukushima disaster yesterday tepco the company cleansing

reradiated side announced that it needs an extra four years just to flood proof the area delaying therefore the removal of melted uranium fuel. appears to be a shadow of apartheid in israel palestinians commuting from the west bank and now being urged to board special buses that were launched this last week by the transport ministry after some jewish settlers said they feared their safety was at risk artie's paullus leader reports on how the roots of the racist overtones go even deeper. on the first of december one nine hundred fifty five a black woman by the name of rosa parks made history by refusing to give up her seat in the so-called colored six in of a crowded bus in montgomery alabama that incident became a formative event in the u.s. civil rights movement and again this week israelis and palestinians are remembering that incident as the transport ministry introduces secret gated bus lines in other words bus services only for kind of stimulus coming in and out of the west bank the

move has created emotive reaction both for and against it both inside and outside of israel these ready transport ministry justifies it by saying that the move is an attempt to alleviate the distress of palestinian passengers having to travel for long hours in and out of israel but the truth is that behind the scenes there was a lot of noise being made by israeli settlers who refused to travel with palestinian passengers they say because they're afraid now newspaper editorials have had a field day with criticisms that israel is acting in line with a party that this smacks of racism and it echoes of the policies back in the united states decades ago the palestinian passengers on this bus saved leaves a bad taste in their mouths but the irony is that it cuts they travel time as they no longer have to travel through the settlements the ticket is a lot cheaper and the whole travel journey is a lot less stressful seven age it's very hard to live with this you can call it

a racist action or whatever but it makes it even more impossible for both sides to understand one another. we're supposed to be working in a civilized country but they're separate not bad i feel like israeli people look as a second class and not equal to. do with that. i feel very bad it is not acceptable at all but in the end of the strong side decides what happens when we have to deal with this reality but the segregation here runs much deeper than just separate bus services we're talking different about. legal systems for israelis and palestinians we're talking about different allocation of resources and preferential treatment to name just a few policy r.t. on the way from qalqilya. if you ever wanted to rewind the clock maybe delete the embarrassing mistakes of your past we've all been there but the u.s. air force seems to know the feeling as well as it scrubs drone strikes now carried out in afghanistan reports and websites you can find out more about the mysterious
